I appriciate your comments. Let me answer some of your questions. Bantha5's version of the Gargan is based on the vintage Kenner toyline. My Gargan is designed to fit with the Saga toyline with the inclusion of the ball joint head and neck. Bantha5 inspired me to make this updated version. And it is still not finnished yet, there is still more to come, the Hoover creature accessory. Next, this is trully my finest work to date, and saying that, I would like to send a copy to Hasbro to see if they would produce it. I think my idea of the hoover accessory would be a great selling point for collectors and fans. If for some reason Hasbro refuses to take my figure as a commission work, then yes, I would offer it to you all. I would need some help in making a finnal (no air bubbles) mold and cast since I do not have a preasure chamber yet.

The Babylon 5 heads as well as the rest of wave 1 of the alien head line is still in development. As you can see in the pictures, they have moved to the wax detailing stage of production. Once I have the final wax sculpt done, I will post them here and then post the final cast head in the alien head thread or start a new thread showcasing the final casted head. When done, wave 1 will contain 15 heads for you all to use in your customs. I know this is taking a long time, but I want to provide the best work possible for you all.

I am having way too much fun with wax casting and sculpting and I hope to have these finnished soon.

Thanks again for your wonderful comments and stay tunned for more updates.

Ben, I'm jealous that your workstation is so clean compared to mine!I commented over at scum, but the Gargan is comming along beautifully.I've undoubtably missed quite a few great customs over the past month, I'm glad i caught this one.

Good luck with the big H. Your figure deserves to e mass produced. I would add articulation to the elbows before doing so. Beuatiful sculpt aside, Just as prety much all the figures they release these days have them, the elbow articulation would be missed.

I am blown away by how incredible your sculpting skills are! They are definitely top notch. I don't know how hasbro deals with commission sculpting, but they'd be crazy not to take this. Those headsculpts came out great as well. Nice work all around Ben!

The scariest thing that I've ever seen,Is the terrible AT-AT walking machine.It's as big as a house on walking legs,and whatever it steps on it crushes like eggs.

Interesting figure heads, I am interested getting some of these as well.

But have you considered doing the following heads, not exactly star wars or sci fi however more fantasy, here they are.

The Devil from LegendJen the GelflingKira the GelflingAughra the MysticSkeksis (Anyone of them)Mystic (Anyone of them, and do it the right size to fit an ephant mon body)Jareth (Labyrinth)Ludo (Labyrinth)Hoggle (Labyrinth)Sarah (Labyrinth)Sir Didymus (Labyrinth)The Slayers (Krull)Rell the Cyclops (Krull)

And how about some Marvel Star Wars Characters.

Jaxxon (But done in the WOTC Style, I love this character)KiroCody SunchildeHedjiBeyDani the ZeltronHoojib (Would be cool if you could pull the complete thing off)

My Buddy JMB has been gone a while, he's been doing some work with a tv show puppet or something, the heads I have no idea when they will be available. He has some other stuff to take care of first, then he may be back.
